What is FireRescue GPO?

FireRescue GPO is a program of NPPGov, a Cooperative Purchasing Organization that offers cost savings to public entities. FireRescue GPO facilitates the creation of publicly solicited contracts on behalf of its tens of thousands of government members nationwide. These contracts are publicly solicited by a lead public agency in accordance with government purchasing regulations and include “piggybacking” language, which allows government agencies to use these contracts in place of their own RFP process. FireRescue GPO members save time and money by making purchases through these publicly solicited contracts.

About the Phoenix G2 Fire Station Alerting System

During a dispatch (911) call, the Phoenix G2 automatically sends various types of audio and visual messages throughout the fire station with detailed information about the emergency. This method of information intake increases a firefighter’s situational awareness so they respond more efficiently and with better information, thus helping save time, lives and property. The automated dispatch system also frees up public safety dispatchers to work on other important tasks instead of manually verbalizing a dispatch or having to contact multiple stations, one after the other.

From conception to delivery, the Phoenix G2 system is “purpose-built” and made specifically for public safety communications professionals. And, it’s designed to be both flexible and standard.

How can it do both?

Because USDD’s purpose-built, standardized systems ship to each fire station with an extensive assortment of the industry’s most popular fire station alerting features, yet remains flexible through the configuration modules, meeting the unique culture of each station. For example, the system’s zoning feature can be configured to only awaken only on-call units with heart-safe ramped tones and lighting, so non-dispatched crews remain undisturbed and can get the rest they need. Meanwhile, well-rested crews can operate at peak effectiveness.
